This is the U.S style Xenon Headlight kit. For E39 5 series 95-02. For cars with existing Xenon you will use existing transformers and will maintain the self leveling feature. For cars WITHOUT existing xenon headlights you will need 2 relays at $130.00 per set and 2 Transformers at 154.00 ea. Kit will come with required angel eye plugs.

Yes, those are the ones. They came with ballasts. I just took out my old headlights and plugged those in, and I didn't get a headlight out warning. Needless to say I was pleased. My 528i is a MY 2000.

Just last night I helped a fellow CCA member install some OEM xenons into his formerly halogen-equipped E39 528 and he did not get any headlight out warnings, either. We didn't do anything special, just simple plug and play, like on my E39. His E39 is a MY 1997.

For maybe more useful info for you developing your product, another thing the 2 cars had in common was that neither one has the optional on-board computer, the one that has the long dot-matrix message display. Both cars had the same setup the E46 has, with the little car icon. Check Control, is it called? Anyway, hopefully you know what I mean.

Well, in that case it's confusing, and we need to re-examine it a little more.

The difference at least at this price point (meaning similar) is that our solution has brighter rings, and 6000K.

But I do acknowledge that the pricing is a little strange considering there is on that same page a similar (clear side marker) headlight for $1K+.

Just thinking about this, could it be possible that they sent me the wrong set by accident? I never gave it a second thought before. If they did, then yay for me, because I got a GREAT deal, and yay for you, because your price is a good one then.
